Available Objects to Generate Reports

When you register the disk arrays in the CA SRM, the following objects display in the object tree view. CA SRM collects information about these objects. You can generate reports on SAN storage utilization, which is based on these objects.

Applications

Objects representing the applications of your disk array. For example, type, domain, and port. The object is created when you register the disk array. The data collection does not update the application object.

Disk Arrays

Objects representing the disk arrays. CA SRM can report the number of spare disks in the array, the make and model of the array, and detailed information about the free and available space in the array.

Note:

Logical Disks

Objects representing the logical disks of your disk array. CA SRM can provide information about the array to which a logical disk belongs; the type, state, data type, and status of the disk; and the amount of free and occupied space on the disk.

Physical Extents

Objects representing the physical extents. CA SRM can report collect information about the status of the extent, the size of the partition, and whether the extent is a data or a parity extent.

RAID Groups

Objects representing the RAID groups. CA SRM can report on the total usable size of the RAID group, how much free and allocated space is in the group, and information about the individual disks in the group.

RAID Disks

Objects representing the RAID disks in use at your site. CA SRM can collect information about the amount of free, occupied, and partitioned space on the disk; the disks physical location (row and column) in its enclosure; and the make, name, and type of the disk.

Enclosures

Objects representing the enclosures at your site. CA SRM can collect information about the number of disks in the enclosure, the controllers in the enclosure, and the IDs of the RAID arrays in the enclosure.

RDF Link

Objects representing the Resource Description Framework (RDF) links in your disk array. CA SRM can report on such things as link status, state modes, and configurations.

LUNs

Objects representing the paths. CA SRM reports the name of the path, and the logical and physical disk that the path points to.

Storage Processors

Objects representing the storage controllers. CA SRM can report the storage processor status, manufacturer, and performance characteristics.

Storage Performance

Objects representing the storage performance of the CA SRM objects. Storage performance attributes are reported for disk arrays, logical disks, physical extents, raid disks, storage processors, and disk array ports.
